If you thought Thailand got the worst of the West, think again and look what washes up in Cambodia! Home Pong was an instant success following its limited 1975 release through Sears; around 150,000units were sold that holiday season. [47] [48] The game became Sears' most successful product at the time, which earned Atari a Sears Quality Excellence Award. [48] Atari's own version sold an additional 50,000 units. [49] Similar to the arcade version, several companies released clones to capitalize on the home console's success, many of which continued to produce new consoles and video games. Magnavox re-released their Odyssey system with simplified hardware and new features and, later, released updated versions. Coleco entered the video game market with their Telstar console; it features three Pong variants and was also succeeded by newer models. [47] Nintendo released the Color TV-Game 6 in 1977, which plays six variations of electronic tennis. The next year, it was followed by an updated version, the Color TV-Game 15, which features fifteen variations. The systems were Nintendo's entry into the home video game market and the first to produce themselves—they had previously licensed the Magnavox Odyssey. [50] The dedicated Pong consoles and the numerous clones have since become varying levels of rare; Atari's Pong consoles are common, while APF Electronics' TV Fun consoles are moderately rare. [51] Prices among collectors, however, vary with rarity; the Sears Tele-Games versions are often cheaper than those with the Atari brand. [47]

While Bangkok69 and Bangkok112 have made every effort to conceal their respective identities, bar owners do know what they look like. Both Bangkok69 and Bangkok112 have made mistakes which have led to them each being identified. The game was also included as a loading screen minigame on the PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions of TD Overdrive: The Brotherhood of Speed, however the Windows version doesn't include it. [67] [68] Sequels and remakes [ edit ] Tele-Games Pong IV, Sears' version of Pong sequel ( Pong Doubles), was one of the many consoles that flooded the market by 1977. Lowood, H. (2009).

About Skills and Careers Sweet Pong The way Bangkok69’s identity was revealed was a little different to Bangkok112. Bangkok69 posted a video which included a scene with two ladies chatting at the entrance of a bar in Nana Plaza. This video was shown to the two ladies who were appalled that it had been uploaded online. Thais have great memories and they remember the guy standing there as they chatted away, and were able to describe Bangkok69. He’s a young Japanese guy who had a baseball cap pulled down covering part of his face. He carried a small fanny bag and like Bangkok112, was described as a younger guy.

Archived from the original on 14 September 2022 . Retrieved 23 May 2023.Several publications consider Pong the game that launched the video game industry as a lucrative enterprise. [12] [36] [52] Video game author David Ellis sees the game as the cornerstone of the video game industry's success, and called the arcade game "one of the most historically significant" titles. [6] [44] Kent attributes the "arcade phenomenon" to Pong and Atari's games that followed it, and considers the release of the home version the successful beginning of home video game consoles. [45] [48] Bill Loguidice and Matt Barton of Gamasutra referred to the game's release as the start of a new entertainment medium, and commented that its simple, intuitive gameplay made it a success. [36] In 1995, Flux magazine ranked the game 56th on their "Top 100 Video Games." [53] In 1996 Next Generation named it one of the "Top 100 Games of All Time", recounting that " Next Generation staff ignor[ed] hundreds of thousands of dollars of 32-bit software to play Pong for hours when the Genesis version was released." [54] In 1999, Next Generation listed Pong as number 34 on their "Top 50 Games of All Time", commenting that, "Despite, or perhaps because of, its simplicity, Pong is the ultimate two-player challenge – a test of reaction times and very simple strategy stripped down to its barest essentials." [55] Entertainment Weekly named Pong one of the top ten games for the Atari 2600 in 2013. [56] Many of the companies that produced their own versions of Pong eventually became well known within the industry. Nintendo entered the video game market with clones of Home Pong. The revenue generated from them—each system sold over a million units—helped the company survive a difficult financial time, and spurred them to pursue video games further. [50] After seeing the success of Pong, Konami decided to break into the arcade game market and released its first title, Maze. Its moderate success drove the company to develop more titles. [57] In 2015, The Strong National Museum of Play inducted Pong to its World Video Game Hall of Fame. [58] Things got serious last week when it was discovered that someone operating under the name Khun Makamura had posted a dozen hidden videos taken inside gogo bars in Bangkok and Pattaya. Some of the videos ran a full half-hour in length, were of a high quality and featured everything in the bars.
